Oscar. Yes or no? by Sandra Stoklaskova

The future of the famous show Oscar is in danger. Oscar is the second most-watched annual broadcast in the United States, after Super Bowl, with the last year audience of 40.2 million audiences. And now it is endangered. The future of this amazing show is controversial, as there was a writer's strike that has thrown the awards season into the chaos. Even though, the film fans will finally find-out, who is competing for this year's Academy Awards. A statement of Tuesday nominees included such names as Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and Daniel Day-Lewis. The ceremony is to be held on February 24, but with the cooperation of Writers Guild of America, this plan will, perhaps, fail. Despite the fact, the academy is convinced, they are moving ahead. "We are planning to have our show on Feb. 24 at the Kodak Theatre with an audience of 3,300 people and a television audience significantly larger than that," said academy spokeswoman Leslie Unger. "It would be in the writers' best interests to come to some kind of resolution, if only temporary, so the awards could go on," said Richard Zanuck, famous producer. This dangerous strike of writers has already took down the second biggest film honors The Golden Globe, so we just have to wait will see, how the things will develop.
